How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

So, you know what shockwave therapy is, but how does it work? We use a specialized device that performs a pulsating action to create acoustic waves. These waves penetrate injured tissues, increasing blood flow and promoting collagen production. Ultimately, this supports and speeds up the body’s natural healing processes.

Shockwave therapy is highly beneficial. It provides long-lasting results without surgery or prescription medications. Plus, you will not have to deal with scarring, the risk of infection, or lengthy recovery periods. These are just a few of the many reasons countless people have been glad they received shockwave therapy.

What to Expect During Shockwave Therapy at Our Skokie Clinic

When you undergo shockwave therapy at Taylor Rehab & Disc Injury Center in Skokie, you can expect a comfortable and efficient experience. The treatment typically involves the following steps:

  • Assessment: Our therapist will conduct a thorough assessment of your condition to identify the precise treatment area.
  • Application of Gel: A gel is applied to the skin over the treatment area to facilitate the transmission of the shockwaves.
  • Shockwave Delivery: A handheld applicator delivers the acoustic waves to the targeted tissue. You may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation during the treatment.
  • Treatment Duration: Each treatment session usually lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the condition being treated.
  • Number of Sessions: The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity and chronicity of your condition, but typically ranges from 3 to 5 sessions spaced about a week apart.

You may experience some slight tingling and discomfort during treatment. However, you will not have any downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many shockwave therapy sessions will I need?

The number of treatments needed will vary depending on your condition and your individual response to treatment. Typically, a series of 4-6 sessions spaced a week apart is recommended.

Are the results of shockwave therapy permanent?

Shockwave therapy promotes healing and pain relief. While results can be long-lasting, they may vary depending on the underlying condition and lifestyle factors. Maintaining good posture, stretching regularly, and addressing any biomechanical imbalances can help sustain the positive effects of treatment.

Can I combine shockwave therapy with other treatments?

Yes, shockwave therapy can be a beneficial addition to other treatment modalities such as chiropractic care, physical therapy, and massage therapy. Dr. Taylor will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include a combination of approaches to optimize your recovery.

Does the treatment hurt during the procedure?

Most patients describe the sensation as a series of quick, rhythmic pulses or a deep thumping. You may feel some mild discomfort or “pinpoint” soreness during the session, particularly if the area is already inflamed. Our doctor can adjust the intensity of the device in real-time to ensure the treatment is tolerable while still being effective for tissue stimulation.

Can shockwave therapy help with old injuries from years ago?

Yes. Shockwave therapy is specifically renowned for its success with chronic conditions. The acoustic waves restart the healing cycle by converting a chronic state back into an acute state, forcing the brain to send new regenerative cells to the site of the old injury.

Are there any activities I should avoid after a session?

We generally advise patients to refrain from heavy, high-impact exercise for about 48 hours after a treatment. This allows the stimulated tissues to begin the remodeling process without being subjected to further mechanical stress. Light walking and normal daily activities are perfectly fine and even encouraged to maintain circulation.

Looking forward to my next visit!

Doctor Taylor is very thorough in his assessment and workup for my neck and back issues. We went through the treatment and the exercises afterwards, and while a little sore, I feel quite a bit better.

I haven't felt this good in years.

Taylor Rehab & Disc Injury Center has made a huge difference in my life, from the red light therapy to relieving my chronic back pain. I haven't felt this good in years. Everyone is so professional and nice to work with that I look forward to my appointments.

I have been sleeping and feeling better.

I bought a 4-visit red light therapy package just to see what it was about. I didn't expect much, but that was wrong. I have been sleeping better, feeling better, and have less aches and pains. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. Everyone at Taylor Rehab & Disc Injury Center makes the experience great!
